Dudes With Awesome Shades (Bellevue)

"This award is given for the simple but "awesome" engineering of the stage, lifelike waterfall, and fire-breathing dragon that awed everyone. The team presented a three-pronged approach that filled the Presentation Area with incredible feats of engineering. These "Dudes" impressed the Appraisers with their intricate set that allowed their evil Queen to realistically melt away. The stage, which doubled as a storybook, was a piece of engineered art. The simple yet effective engineering of the team's flowing waterfall captivated the Appraisal Team. A coffee can, a fan, tubing, a red light and dry ice, all came together to produce a believable fire-breathing dragon. The combination of all these elements made for an "awesome" and unforgettable presentation that was to DIe for."
